Chapter 1280: A Powerful Counterattack
The scene was dead silent!
The spear tip was dripping with blood, a shocking sight, planted in the bluestone ground. The thick, cold metal shaft trembled slightly, pinning Guan Cheng in a pool of blood as it flowed along the metal pole.
This sight sent a chill down everyone's spine, a cold air rushing from the soles of their feet to the top of their skulls.
Blood splashed high, staining the bluestone ground red, and even splattering onto the Great Commander's robe, bright and piercing. Everyone felt a sense of dread, wondering what this signified.
In this square, silence reigned so profound that a falling needle could be heard. No one spoke; all eyes were on Ye Fan. What did he intend to do? This was a powerful provocation!
The cold spear was planted less than two feet from the Great Commander, almost piercing him. The black spear shaft still trembled, cold and glaring.
The bloody scene made everyone feel a chill, as if they were experiencing it themselves. A wave of cold air swept through their bodies. This was a stunning spear strike, and a bloody one at that.
It was a powerful deterrent, a suffocating atmosphere of oppression.
Ye Fan stood motionless on the horse's back. With a single strike, he had impaled and killed a transcendent trial participant, chilling everyone to the bone. The peerless spear strike shook their hearts.
The scene was deathly still. Guan Cheng was pinned in the pool of blood, motionless, as blood flowed.
"How dare you! Are you causing trouble in the Human Clan Sacred City and offending the Great Commander?!" Finally, an old soldier shouted, breaking the silence.
Only then did people recover, and a murmur of discussion arose. Ye Fan was too domineering and sharp. As soon as he appeared, he made such a move.
Blood splattering on the Great Commander of the Human Clan Sacred City, displaying force—this was truly audacious to the extreme!
A few old soldiers stepped forward, some holding bronze war halberds, others pointing long swords, all aimed at Ye Fan, revealing a fierce killing intent.
"Hum!"
The black spear planted on the ground trembled, emitting a blinding light. It rose inch by inch from the ground on its own, leaving Guan Cheng's body behind as blood gushed out.
"No matter where you come from, no matter your identity, using force in the Human Clan Sacred City violates the city's rules. It is equivalent to making enemies of all the strong on the entire Human Clan trial ancient path," a soldier shouted.
Puff!
A sudden flash of blood flew up. The black spear was like a black true dragon; with a twist, it pierced through this person's brow, blood splattering everywhere.
"He has rebelled! Killing in the city, defying the constraints of the Stellar Ancient Path, he will be regarded as a traitor to the Human Clan. Everyone, join hands and kill him on the spot! All will be rewarded!"
The military officer under the Great Commander shouted loudly, his voice fierce and stern, echoing through half the ancient city. He pinned a great accusation on Ye Fan, with malicious intent.
If such a charge were confirmed, Ye Fan would be attacked by all forces in the ancient city. As the military officer beside Great Commander Yu Han, he was naturally no pushover. His eyes flashed coldly as he shouted, "Seize him!"
"Boom!"
The void shattered. The black spear vibrated, collapsing the space in all directions. It swept across, shattering the bronze swords of a row of soldiers, then cleaved the military officer in two.
Ye Fan's weapon transformed on its own. Though it was a spear, it now acted like a heavenly sword. The spear tip was sharp and icy cold, the blood groove flowing with a terrifying dark red luster, emitting a strange, wailing sound like a demon crying.
"You dare resist, making enemies of the entire Human Clan in the city..."
The military officer roared, his expression ferocious, calling everyone to charge forward. But his words were cut short. The black spear traced a blinding flash of lightning, cleaving him in two!
The spear tip slashed down from his brow, a bloody crack spreading down to his legs. Then, with a puff, blood sprayed several feet high. His body split in two, and he fell dead on the spot.
The others were splattered with blood, feeling a bone-chilling killing intent. Without a word, they all stopped in their tracks.
"Ye Fan, what do you think you're doing!" Great Commander Yu Han shouted.
Ye Fan sat upright on the horse's back, motionless. Only after finishing off the few restless soldiers did he speak coldly, "What am I doing? Didn't you see? I'm ridding this city of the scum of the Human Clan. You immediately pinned a great accusation of being a common enemy of the Human Clan on me. Do you think you are the law, the emperor, the Dao?!"
"What are you talking about?" a group of soldiers behind shouted, murderous intent radiating. They stood beside Great Commander Yu Han, awaiting his orders, all with hostile expressions.
Ye Fan struck first. The cold spear transformed into a black dragon body, dancing like lightning. Puffing sounds rang out incessantly as he pierced through the soldiers who had just stepped forward, one after another, leaving them lying in pools of blood.
Although these men were powerful and attempted to counterattack, their weapons shattered, and each was pierced through the body by the spear tip, dying violently as blood blossoms bloomed.
"Stop! Do you truly want to make enemies of the entire Human Clan on the Stellar Ancient Path?" Great Commander Yu Han asked coldly. He remained composed and had not yet made a move.
"How can killing scum be considered making enemies of the entire Stellar Ancient Path?" Ye Fan said coldly. With a clang, he beckoned, and the black spear flew back into his hand. He stood on the horse, spear in hand, even more intimidating.
"They are soldiers of the city. Killing them without cause like this—the Guide Envoy will not tolerate you. He will personally come to suppress you!" the Great Commander shouted, his voice like a thunderbolt, streaking across the sky toward the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Clearly, he wanted to alert the Guide Envoy to come and take charge. He couldn't gauge Ye Fan's depth at the moment and didn't want to engage directly.
"They are worthy of being called soldiers defending the Human Clan Sacred City?" Ye Fan sneered, his face full of mockery and undisguised killing intent.
A soldier shouted with righteous indignation, "You kill wantonly in the city, relying on your great achievements. Know that the world is full of strong experts who will suppress you. And you have no right to slander us!"
"Did you hear that?" Great Commander Yu Han said coldly.
"You are also worthy of being called soldiers? You dare speak of the word 'right'?" Ye Fan pointed his spear forward. Where the spear tip pointed, these men all changed color.
"I was just about to ask the Great Commander for an explanation!" Ye Fan's voice turned cold. "When I was comprehending the Dao in the Ancient Dao Field, why was I ambushed by over a dozen soldiers?"
At these words, the soldiers changed color. The other trial participants present were also shocked. Such a thing had happened, confirming that Ye Fan was about to cause a major uproar.
"I don't understand. Which soldiers are you talking about? How could they have entered the Dao Field? Could they be transformed by the demonic beasts inside?" Great Commander Yu Han said flatly.
"I also don't understand. Why would the city's soldiers, who should be guarding the ancient city, enter the Dao Field to kill us trial participants?" Ye Fan said coldly, then shouted loudly, "And I understand even less why these people who ambushed me are now all standing behind you!"
His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire ancient city, rumbling loudly, startling everyone. This was a Dao Roar; Ye Fan was interrogating the Great Commander.
The Great Commander waved his hand and said, "I think you are mistaken. These are all my soldiers and have never left. They guard the Human Clan Sacred City, working hard and meritoriously. Each is worthy of respect. They are heroes of our Human Clan. How could they go to the Dao Field to kill you? Please don't slander them."
As he said these words, he was righteous and dignified, full of authority. His words seemed to resonate with the Great Dao, rumbling out.
Ye Fan smiled contemptuously. This kind of authority was too cheap, so hypocritical that it couldn't be described as mere badness. It revealed the Great Commander's shamelessness.
"What are you laughing at? The Human Clan Sacred City is no place for your insolence!" Great Commander Yu Han said, but still made no move to act personally.
In front of him, over a dozen soldiers were on high alert, each holding their weapons, staring at Ye Fan, ready for battle.
Of course, stalling for time was the priority. If the Guide Envoy arrived, the deterrent would be greater. That old monster had cultivated for so many years and was surely supremely powerful, unmatched in the city.
"Haha..." Ye Fan laughed loudly, unrestrained. To the Great Commander, this was incredibly arrogant, a public mockery of them.
"You are so righteous that one would be toppled over from ten zhang away. Fine, I'll kill them one by one right in front of you, giving you a chance to promote your righteousness," Ye Fan shouted.
The Dragon Horse roared, turning into a streak of fire, moving with incredible speed. Like a flash of red lightning, Ye Fan charged forward, holding the spear with one hand and thrusting forward.
"Clang!"
With just one spear strike, over a dozen weapons shattered. With a puff, one man was pierced through the chest, lifted into the air, and pinned there.
Then, with a bang, the soldier's body split into four or five pieces. Crimson blood splashed in all directions, some landing in front of the Great Commander.
Everyone changed color. With a single spear strike, he had destroyed everyone's weapons and killed one man.
Great Commander Yu Han changed color as well. He could see that Ye Fan was doing this deliberately, killing his subordinates one by one in front of him, as if slapping him in the face publicly.
Chi!
Ye Fan shook the man apart, and a wisp of divine thought appeared at the spear tip. The scene of this soldier attacking in the Ancient Dao Field instantly replayed, revealing the truth.
Puff!
Ye Fan thrust his spear a second time. No matter how these men resisted or dodged, it was unavoidable. The second man was pierced through the forehead bone, lifted into the air, dripping with blood, his body unable to move.
At the same time, a wisp of divine thought flew out, replaying the scene of him attacking in the Ancient Dao Field, displayed publicly.
Great Commander Yu Han's face turned ashen. With a clang, a sacred banner rose behind him, its power vast, swallowing heaven and earth, fluttering loudly.
Ye Fan was gathering evidence publicly, a blatant humiliation. The ugly side of these so-called defending heroes was exposed, leaving the Great Commander speechless.
The soldiers, meanwhile, looked ashen-faced. Ye Fan's strength exceeded their expectations, too terrifying. Even with numbers on their side, they had lost control.
"What else do you have to say?!" Ye Fan shouted, his voice deafening, shaking the entire Human Clan Sacred City.
Everyone was stunned, then a clamor arose. By now, everything indicated that Ye Fan was about to cause a major uproar in the city, completely tearing apart any pretense!
Ku Toutuo, Mu Guanghan, Tuoba Yu, Ouye Mo, Yu Xian, and others all had shifting expressions. What had happened today exceeded their expectations, leaving none of them calm.
The Second Leader of the Tianhuang Thirteen Riders had a cold expression, standing silently beside Yan Chifeng.
Qing Shi Fairy and her little maid Yue'er were also present, calm and composed, watching everything unfold.
"Clang!"
The Great Commander made his move. The great banner in his hand was filled with demonic energy. With a light shake, the entire banner covered the sky, rolling toward Ye Fan. He shouted, "Demon! You use spells to deceive the heroes. Today, I will eliminate you!"
Ye Fan laughed loudly, "Has the dog jumped over the wall? Today, I will capture and kill you all!"
